There are many drinkable yogurt products that have been launched over the years, but Blueberry Yogurina is a unique new product from Suntory that puts a twist on this type of beverage.
The Blueberry Yogurina is a product that is bottled in a way that resembles water, yet is said to have a mouthfeel that is more like yogurt. The blueberry-flavored clear drinkable yogurt is made with whey that is derived from milk, which gives the beverage its unique qualities. This new beverage is set to be available across Japan through select retailers, convenience stores and vending machines.
Previously, Suntory launched colorless milk tea that also takes the form of a clear liquid with a creamy texture.
